Default help with engine swap

hi i have an eg, and i swapped a JDM b16a obd0 into it. i have two problems with it right now. the back torque mount bracket will not line up with the tranny and the engine. i have two bolts in the bracket now. ONE in the engine and ONE in the lower bolt hole in the tranny. my question is, would not changing the torque rubber back mount from the stock
soch 1.5 to a b-series rubber mount be any different?

my second problem is that my car goes into limp mode when under load at 6000rpm most times. if it doesnt go into limp mode vtec studders and than kicks hard again to when ever i shift. i didnt wire the knock sensor up to the obd0 ecu. i was thinking it would be maybe a dizzy problem or knock sensor. check engine light on. crk postion code i think.

ecu is p03 mugen chipped

are you using the rear "T" bracket from a 94 and up integra for the rear mount? also why would you convert the car to OBD0? wouldn't it have been easier to use your cars existing wiring harness and just get a OBD1 dizzy? then just run your 3 VTEC wires and knock wire?

anyways your problem is more than likely the OBDO dizzy, either the wiring to it is bad or the dizzy itself is no good in which case i would think it would be better to get the OBD1 and convert back to OBD1

you should not have to change the mount on the subframe it sounds more to me like you are just using the wrong "T" bracket. are you using the cable trans or the hyrdo trans with your setup? if you are using the cable you MAY have to use the 90-91 integra T bracket to line up to that trans.

Also if you decide to switch back to OBD1 you will need to change your injector plugs with the OBD0 ones or change the injectors in your B16 with the ones from your OBD1 motor you took out of the car
